Our Summary of Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Published in 1935, Laura Ingalls Wilder's novel 'Little House on the Prairie' is a story that centers on the Ingalls, a pioneer family. The novel represents memories of the author's life in the Midwest during the nineteenth-century. Wilder structured the work to include twenty-six chapters, told from the perspective of Laura Ingalls in the third person. Laura is also the central character and main protagonist. With this in mind, Wilder begins the book with an introduction of the family, which consists of Ma and Pa, three daughters: Mary, Laura, and Carrie: and the family guard dog. As the story begins, the family is moving, traveling through Minnesota and Kansas and camping outdoors on the prairie. By the sixth chapter, the Ingalls move into the log cabin they built. Throughout the rest of the work, the family continues to discover their surroundings, encountering both good times and challenges. By the end of 'Little House on the Prairie,' the family eventually heads for Independence Missouri, to a great country.
